The Ruben Amorim debate made its way back to the talkSPORT studio on Thursday in explosive fashion.The jury remains out on the Manchester United boss who completed 50 games in charge of the Red Devils in last weekend’s 2-0 win over Sunderland.Ruben Amorim has endured a tumultuous first 11 months at Old TraffordGettyThe win was much needed, but the overall numbers make for damning reading.The victory was just Amorim’s tenth in 34 league games since taking charge last November.Amorim’s performance as manager has been scrutinised with some reports claiming the 40-year old was on the brink of an exit.Ratcliffe’s backing However, United minority shareholder Jim Ratcliffe appeared to pour cold water on the notion that Amorim could soon be out of the door at Old Trafford by revealing the Lisbon native needs three years to prove himself as a great coach.Ratcliffe’s words has caused a storm with many failing to understand why Amorim is not under immediate pressure to turn around United’s fortunes based on his dismal first 12 months at the helm.Legendary talkSPORT co-host Jim White was one to question Ratcliffe’s motives in publicly committing to Amorim for the long term.However, White was challenged by broadcast colleague Simon Jordan, who went into the debate with his owner’s hat on following his ten-year stint in charge of Crystal Palace.An owners perspective Asked if the 20-time champions were right to stick by their head coach, Jordan said: “If Manchester United and their owners, who are far closer to Ruben Amorim, feel that the reasons why they employed him are consistent with the way they are going, then they have no business talking about Ruben Amorim being fired.“Because the traditional thinking is, ‘Oh we’ve got to win things now.’ The perception is, ‘You’ve got to be judged now.’White responded to Jordan saying, “Yeah he does” to which Jordan replied, “No he doesn’t. By who, You?”Jim Ratcliffe has given Amorim a huge vote of confidenceGettyJim White and Simon Jordan sparked a fierce debate over Ratcliffe’s backing of AmorimWhite hit back with: “You are judged on a day-to-day basis, you are judged in the here and now.”Jordan added: “But whose Judgement is relevant? Who makes us the arbiter of what is success and what’s relevant?”The debate heated up with White adding a little more context around his own thinking.White said: “Listen, they are not going to listen to a word I say and they are quite right not to, but surely it’s the here and now?“Was where they finished in the Premier League last season acceptable for the most iconic club in the world?”“I don’t think it was,” Jordan replied. “But these are grown-up people, not media people.”White asked whether Amorim was deserving of another two years in the jobWhite, who has carved out a 50-year career in journalism, appeared to take exception to Jordan’s words, replying: “Are media people not grown up?”Before Jordan stood firmly in the corner of his own expertise responding: “You have no idea what it takes to run a business.”The discussion continued as White again questioned whether or not Amorim was deserving of a further two years in the Old Trafford dugout.“According to the owner, yes,” said Jordan. “That’s the end of the conversation isn’t it?”Jordan continued: “The key component part of this conversation is whose opinion is the most prevalent. The owner’s opinion and the person that is most informed.“So the reaction I’m giving is if he feels it’s strong enough, if he feels the reasons are good enough for him to give the manager a certain amount of time then the discussion we’re having is almost moot.Jordan says he hasn’t been impressed by Amorim’s tenure to date“I don’t agree that you judge people in small batches of time.”Not good enoughAsked whether he has been impressed by Amorim’s performance since his arrival, Jordan said: “I don’t think it’s great but I’m in the camp of saying that the people that know are the ones that should make the right decisions.“There has to be some indications that things are going to get better and there’s nothing I’ve seen from Ruben Amorim from the way he conducts himself in the media to the way he sets his team up, that he’s going to get it right.“But Jim Ratcliffe does, so he must be seeing something or he’s completely clueless himself.”
